| Abstract: |
A shin guard comprises an elastic generally tubular member adapted to tightly surround the lower leg of a wearer in the vicinity of the shin, and an elongated substantially rigid member which is tapered toward the lower end thereof and being generally shaped to substantially conform to the contour of the shin of the wearer. The elastic tubular member has a first retaining means for retaining the substantially rigid member in a predetermined position between the elastic tubular member and the shin of the wearer. A second retaining means extends from the elastic tubular member for retaining the elastic tubular member in the longitudinal direction thereof substantially at a predetermined position on the leg of the wearer.

I claim:
1. A shin guard comprising:
- an elastic generally tubular member (1) adapted to tightly surround the lower leg of a wearer in the vicinity of the shin;
- an elongated substantially rigid member (6) which is tapered toward the lower end thereof to substantially conform to the fibula of a wearer, said elongated substantially rigid member being shaped to substantially conform to the contour of the shin of the wearer;
- said elastic tubular member having means defining an elongated open ended pocket for receiving and removably retaining said substantially rigid member through said open end in a predetermined position interior of said pocket of said elastic tubular member and between a portion of said elastic tubular member and the shin of the wearer;
- said pocket having stop means at the lower end thereof for limiting the insertion depth of said substantially rigid member into said pocket to a position above and spaced from the foot of a wearer, thereby retaining the lowermost edge of said substantially rigid member spaced from the foot of a wearer;
- cushion means at the lower end of said elongated substantially rigid member and located between said substantially rigid elongated member and the foot of a wearer;
- said elastic tubular member being adapted to tightly and compressively surround the lower leg portion of a wearer to provide compressive support to the gastric nemius muscle of the wearer; and
- a stirrup (12) extending from the lower edge of said elastic tubular member and adapted to extend around the foot of the wearer for retaining said elastic tubular member in the longitudinal direction of said elastic tubular member substantially at a predetermined position on the leg of the wearer.
